Thinking of buying the 1995 Ford Explorer?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1995 Ford Explorer for sale by us right now. Buying the 1995 Ford Explorer is a big decision; here is the information we have.

Before you sign for the Explorer

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 843 complaints with NHTSA, most often about tires, power train and suspension; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Under the hood

The 4.0L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 39 litres, from its 13.1 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $20.31 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

What to expect from the Explorer

Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.

Try before you buy

Drive the Explorer on your commute before you commit to it. If the Explorer is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Explorer on your commute, then decide.

Picking a year and a trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting.

When you know your dates

A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1995 Ford Explorer from us first.
